Beyond these Walls:
Being a Good Ancestor for Future Generations

A message from our CEO, Don Ankeny

Since its inception in 2000, Westcore has actively pursued Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives, recognizing the ongoing opportunity for progress.

We are committed to incorporating ESG factors into our decision-making processes and have become a signatory to the UN's Principles for Responsible Investment, while also supporting the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures. Additionally, we participated in the 2024 GRESB Assessment to benchmark our performance against peers and identify areas for improvement, and we plan to participate in the 2025 assessment as well.

We believe in the value of diversity in our team and the importance of shared values in our interactions with stakeholders and customers.

Throughout our years of buying and repositioning, we are dedicated to rehabilitating our facilities and integrating responsible development practices.

Strong governance is paramount to us, and our robust processes and track record instill trust and confidence in our clients.

We are excited to be on this journey of growth.

Environmental: Rehabilitation, Repositioning and Renewal

Creating Functional and Sustainable Buildings

Our environmental plans include the active repositioning of older buildings as we seek to reduce the impact of facilities in our existing portfolio.

Since 2020, we have installed LED lighting in 61% of the portfolio reducing energy usage by approximately 14%. In total, the portfolio has LED lighting in 81% of our assets.

Furthermore, we are implementing measurable benchmarking systems for data collection and analysis, actively working to build an extensive rooftop solar program, and pursuing certifications for new development projects.

Collective Accountability

Governance is critical to how we operate and reduce risk.

We believe that strong governance combined with empowerment will lead to greater success. This is reflected in our culture of integrity and respect, our operating protocols, our approach to diversification and our risk management program.

Our initiatives include benchmarking GRESB , improving our departmental level playbooks, continuous cyber security training, and thorough participation in industry discussions regarding environmental impact reduction.
